Well hello again my friends and lovers of all things geek and welcome to the continuing coverage of the 2023 edition of the New York Comic Con. If you’re just now joining us for some reason, please know that you’ve landed on the second part of the Day Three features. I’ve been serving up the awesome for a number of days now and we still have quite a bit to go. Since I don’t want you to feel lost, I’m going to suggest that you click HERE to open up a new browser tab with all of the preceding posts. I think its better to start from the beginning with this kind of adventure but if you just want to go ahead you can do you. First up are the legendary Walt and Weezy Simonson and Warlock.

I also ran into the 501st Legion again and then a Terminator. Science Fiction cosplays are everywhere and I am not complaining at all.

Get Your Free “Marvel Value Stamp Book” @ Participating Retailers

November 8, 2017 Ken Pierce Leave a comment

Back in July I shared some news from the Mighty Marvel Comics side of the fence about the return of the “Mighty Marvel Value Stamps” and if you missed that post or are new to our presentations just click on THIS LINK to be more up to speed. Earlier today I was in my local comic book retailer and they had the colorful folder where the collectors could showcase their stamps. I took a few photos of the whole thing to share them with you.

Once you open the folder you get a summary of the program and an advertisement about the return of “The Phoenix”. Marvel is making a pretty big deal about this and you should watch this section of the website because I will be shining a spotlight on the next round of True Believers comics which will be all focused on The Phoenix character.
